Subaru Legacy BN/BS (2015-2019) Service Manual: Dtc p0072 ambient air temperature sensor circuit "a" low

Subaru Legacy BN/BS (2015-2019) Service Manual / Engine (diagnostics)(h6do) / Diagnostic procedure with diagnostic trouble code (dtc) / Dtc p0072 ambient air temperature sensor circuit "a" low

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Immediately at fault recognition

STEP	CHECK	YES	NO
1.CHECK DTC. Check for DTC. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)	Is P0072 or P0073 displayed in «Present fault»-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0072 AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT "A" LOW	Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again. NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
2.CHECK COMBINATION METER. Check the combination meter system. System Operation Check Mode	Is the combination meter system normal-	Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.	Repair or replace the combination meter system. Combination Meter

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect the open or short circuit of ambient temperature sensor.

Judge as NG if out of specification.

2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Ambient temperature sensor is connected to combination meter. ECM receives the data of ambient temperature sensor via CAN communication with combination meter.
